This year I've been working on getting a nice group of wakins & telescopes
in my lily pond. The other day I lost one female to what I thought was a
spawning injury. She was aloof for a couple of days and then dead, swollen
red abdomen.

Well 2 days ago one of my prettiest male was hanging off aloof, and today
he was swimming rather aimless under the surface, not eating. I did a 25%
water change (as I was doing lily maintenance anyway) and gave him a salt
dip. He came around right quick after that and even ate a little this
evening. I'm planning to prazi the pond tomorrow as I'm thinking a
treatment for gill flukes is in order. ~ jan
